Alcohol

Is anyone having the odd drink? Since isabel arrived 20 days ago I have had 1 glass of White wine! I bought myself a bottle of red wine last week but am worried to have a glass, I am breastfeeding and feel that I am being judged if I have one, so basically I am wondering if anyone else is having the odd drink, I know that a small amount is ok while breastfeeding, with me it's more a guilt trip by others that is bothering me!!

I drink white wine spritzers and have had about 4 over the last 2 weeks .. to be honest i have about 3/4 soda to 1/4 wine. i have had them after i have fed about 8pm then feed about 3-4 hours later. im sure 1 at a time is fine...

I didn't drink at all when I was breastfeeding DD1, but have been reading on the internet, NHS site and others that it is fine to have a couple of units a week and to try and leave it a couple of hours if possible before feeding. I am mainly expressing anyway, so that's not a problem. Yes, I treated myself to a small glass of red wine the other evening and I really enjoyed it!
